NAME
nmixer - An interactive text-based sound-mixer control program
SYNOPSIS
nmixer [-q] [[-s mixdev=setting] ...]
nasmixer [-q] [[-s mixdev=setting] ...]
DESCRIPTION
NMixer is an interactive text-based sound-mixer control program that
you can use to set the volume of each supported mixer device of your
soundcard. It automagically detects all devices that are supported by
your sound hardware, and shows a list of scrollbars for each of these
devices.
You can use the up and down arrow keys (or k and j resp.) to scroll
though the list of scrollbars (some do not fit on the screen, but you
can reach them by simply scrolling down at the bottom of the screen).
The left and right arrow keys (or h and l resp.) change the volume for
the currently highlighted device, and (if you’re lucky), you can use
home/end/PgUp/PgDn on the numerical keyboard to set left and right
volume independently. You can also use 0..5 to set the volume to the
position indicated by the numbers on top of the screen.
If a device can be recorded from, red brackets will be displayed under
the device’s name. If it’s selected as recording source, a red ’X’ is
displayed as well. You can set a recording device with the space bar.
If nmixer is compiled with NAS (Network Audio System) support and it’s
called as ’nasmixer’, it will show the settings for the NAS mixer
device.
OPTIONS
-d device
Setst the mixer device to use (default = /dev/mixer) -s
mixdev=setting Sets a specific mixer device to the volume
specified by setting. Example: bass=100
-q Immediately quit (after the command-line specified settings are
set!). This only makes sense if you use command-line options to
set volumes. (currently, the interface is drawn while setting
the mixer, and removed afterwards, which might be annoying, but
it’s in the way of being changed :)

If you find bugs, please report them on the sourceforge project site.
